if anyone out there lives near winterset, iowa, fons and porter are moving their fabric warehouse to another place also in winterset. they are having a good moving sale with top brands (kona, timeless treasures, etc) at $4.

I'm only about 20 min from Winterset. Can you tell me when their doing this? This weekend?

Sale is Oct 9th-11th, 9-4, over 8000 yards on sale, all cottons, $4 a yd and batiks and flannels $6. There is a meet and greet on the 10th from 9-5. I get a newsletter from them and this is what it says.

thanks, love2quilt. i wasn't here this weekend to answer.

shelleyp - open a second mailbox with a different service provider. they all offer free ones. like my main provider (the one i pay for) is verizon, but i also have a free mailbox with hotmail. every newsletter or quilt-related or sewing related email that i sign up for comes in on the hotmail box. that leaves my main mailbox free for family and friends without having my dh go crazy looking for his incomings.

then sign yourself up for every newsletter that even remotely interests you. some inform you of great sales like this. others give good hints and others give free patterns. that way you don't miss out. if one turns out to be a dud, just unsubscribe. if you want to stay with your own provider, simply open a secondary mailbox under a new password. bingo!

OOOOO,you lucky people! I wonder how much gas it would take for me to drive there????
:D

Thanks for the info ladies. :wink: It's the covered bridge festival weekend so I know I will be over there at some point.

Thats a good idea about the extra email account. I'll do that! In the mean time, I did subscribe to F&P to my regular email. I know I want theirs!
